Rotting decks, leaking roofs, and a lack of railings and ramps reduce quality of life and put lives at risk.

This is why Rebuild Upstate is so important. Unlike organizations that focus on new home construction, Rebuild Upstate exclusively repairs and improves existing homes. It’s about more than just laying boards and hammering nails—it’s about restoring the safety and dignity of our neighbors in need.

I am most grateful for having my ramp built. The Rebuild Upstate staff was so very polite, kind, courteous and on time. The volunteers were very clean and orderly. This ramp makes me feel safer and now I can do more for myself without the fear of falling. I also can carry some things with me. I couldn’t do that climbing stairs! I just want to give my biggest thanks to Rebuild Upstate for this program. It really worked for me. Thank you sincerely.
